"A chance discovery of banana fibre sparked a curiosity that soon grew into a shared creative journey, leading to the creation of Earthy Hues. We were fascinated to discover that the stem of the banana plant could be transformed into a beautiful, versatile fibre. What began as curiosity soon became an exploration of  textures, fabrics and possibilities.

 

Today, our collection spans home décor, stationery, bags, clutches and accessories. We pair handloomed banana fibre with textiles such as silk, kalamkari, cotton and other fabrics, creating pieces that bring together the character of traditional materials with contemporary design.

​​

For us, Earthy Hues is more than a collection of products — it is a passion close to our hearts. We believe that choosing thoughtfully made, natural products should not have to come at a premium. We strive to make banana fibre products accessible while celebrating the craftsmanship and creativity that go into every piece.

​​

One of the nicest surprises of this journey has been seeing Earthy Hues out in the world. Every now and then, we spot an Earthy Hues bag on someone's shoulder or discover one of our pieces in a home, and have that little “that's ours!” moment. There is something rather special about seeing what started as a sketch, a fabric and an idea find its way into someone else's life. And it reminds us why we started this journey."
